Nah, because there was a failure with the policy implementation the kid got a proper name and no record that it had changed.

Shame, it doesn't seem to violate policy. They should have been forced to do a full legal name change, and a welfare check on the other kids wouldn't be out of line either.

That directly contradicts the article saying it will be on record for life.
